My feelings towards the subject almost exactly dude; I utterly love buying CDs (New & Old ) as I much prefer to own a physical/hard copy of things, I then simply rip them and hence ensure that the CD, its case & any other contents remain in pristine condition.

So yeah, I don't view them as a relic but rather consider them to be a much better bang for one's buck compared to a downloaded .mp3 (Legal or Illegal) - I have something to actually show for the money & I can ensure a superior .mp3 file that isn't locked to some arse-hat of a company's software &/or hardware.

Cassette tapes!, now there's a relic never worth admiring! - As I think most of us have been here before:
(Not to mention the abysmal sound quality!)
